Classic sign of a fake is the white of the band. It’s probably Davidoff’s best (unintentional) security feature. Dead giveaway.

I also am looking at the bands as an indicator. The printing of Davidoff should be much crisper, and every letter should be distinct. The photos show the lettering as being thick with the letters crowded into one another.

I agree with what has been said thus far. The box is probably real, the rest is not.

Spot on, John. Totally agree with your assessment.

It’s hard to tell from a photo but the comment about off- white/cream shade is spot on.

It is extremely difficult to tell from a photo which is why @MrBirdman is exactly correct about it being an unintended security feature. The off-white color is very subtle and unique, and for some reason comes through in photos much lighter or even white. 

Very few pristine examples exist today, i.e. almost all surviving examples have yellowing or signs of age. You'd need to see a pristine band in person and be able to compare it to your chosen stock for the fake bands to get it right. 

Here's something depressing: a box of 3000 sold at Christies in 2000 for £396. How times have changed...

Hmmm Davidoff cigars always difficult with the origins or the source. 
In FB was a guy who was able to get hands on the bands. So he rebranded DomRep cigars and sold it to others. Result he was band in several renamed FB sites. He scammed an awful lot of people. 
IMHO, as stated above, the box is legit and the rest……… but I am not into Davidoff so what do I know.

     *Plus I don't recall ever seeing a "4000" Davidoff Habano.

From CCW, the Davidoff 4000 was a 1970s release and was discontinued in 1991. So it would have been a Habano cigar.
